Since Aug. 1, 2011, Ventrone has been involved in 21 roster moves with the Patriots. It’s a hectic and uncertain life in the NFL for the 25-year-old and it won’t get any easier. He played in eight games last season. If he appears in one more game, he will lose his practice squad eligibility for the 2012 season. This camp could be one of his last shots to show he belongs. “I don’t even try to think about it,” said Ventrone, who has two career tackles. “I just worry about every practice — just trying to be the best player I can be. And however the organization sees me help the team, I’ll do it.”

Considering the state of the Patriots’ offense line, it can’t come soon enough.

New York did not re-sign Burress, who turned 35 on Sunday.

On a Florida State defense loaded with NFL talent, Bjoern Werner could very well be the top NFL prospect. He had a breakout sophomore season in 2011, notching 37 total tackles, 11.0 tackles for loss, and 7.0 sacks as the Seminoles’ starting left defensive end. When you consider that he was playing just his fourth season of organized football, his production and overall feel for the game scream his enormous upside.
